Everything is Going to be Okay

If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone.

We're here to remind you that everything is going to be okay.

Don't just take our word for it. We find that reassurance in the promises in God's word. 

God is working behind the scenes and He speaks to us in myriad ways. Whether it's through scripture, uplifting music, or words from friends, His presence can always be felt. 

We'll also encourage you to develop a deeper connection with your faith, recite God's promises during tough times, and hold onto hope as we face challenges together.

Everything is going to be okay. 

If you found this episode encouraging, please - share it with someone who might need some encouragement today. 

Let's spread the message of the hope and love we find in Jesus, and remind each other that we are never alone in our struggles.

You know, life can be difficult sometimes.
Breaking news right.
We all know that.
Heather knows it, I know it,but we want to remind you that,
regardless of what you are goingthrough today, god is with you.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, he is, and I'm pretty sure that everyone has
days that feel overwhelming.
Maybe you're having a toughtime at work, or there are
difficulties in your home, oryou just feel like you're a
little bit lost.
Right now, whatever ishappening, breathe and know that
you are not alone.
God's love and power are withyou.

(00:57):
He will give you the courage toface whatever's in front of you
.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
You know breathing is such an important thing.
Just to take a few moments yes,I know it doesn't sound like
much, but just to stop wheneveryou can, whenever you think
about it, because when thingsare weighing you down, you do.
You got to find a moment to bestill breathe.
Talk to God.
Remember his word says over andover and over do not be anxious
, don't worry.

(01:22):
Don't be anxious, don't worry,don't be afraid.
And while you're sitting therewith God, just be honest, be
open.
He knows your heart.
He already knows, but he wantsto hear from you.
Tell him what's bothering you,what's got you worried, what's
overwhelming you, and then lethis peace calm your heart.
All you really need is a momentto pray in silence or a moment
to thank him, to alter yourmindset and remind you that

(01:45):
everything will be all right.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
When my husband knows that I'm worried, he'll look at
me and he will say to me baby,everything is going to be okay,
he's right.
Sometimes I just need to hearhim say it right, and then I
feel better.
And there are times, honestly,I need my heavenly father to
remind me that everything reallyis going to be okay.
Maybe it's through his word ormaybe other people in my life

(02:12):
that he uses to remind me thateverything's going to be okay,
and when I hear that from God Ido feel better, right in that
moment.
But also my outlook changes,right, and that is one of the
most powerful things that we cando have that faith that God is
working.
And maybe it is behind thescenes and we can't see what

(02:34):
he's working on, but we can knowthat he is working and he's
making a way, he's guiding oursteps.
We can hold on to that hopethat he's working out all things
for good.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Well, heather said it .
You know, when you hear it fromGod and sometimes I think
people they're like, well, Idon't hear from God.
But that comes through a lot ofdifferent ways, through reading
his word.
It's right there in scripturesometimes the reminders that hey
, I'm with you always, you'renot alone in this.
So when someone says to me Idon't quite hear from God, I'm
like have you been in the Word?

(03:09):
And I don't mean that to soundanything other than it's a
reminder to me that I felt thatway.
Sometimes I'm not in His Wordand constantly seeking Him and
drawing nearer.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
You know, sometimes, especially at WPER, we've heard
people say gosh, that was justthe song I needed to hear.
So maybe it could also be hespeaking to you through one of
the songs you hear on WPER, anda lot of those are straight up
scripture.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
So, no matter what you're facing today and it might
be a lot, I don't knowSometimes you go to bed with it
and your first thought when youwake up is what you were dealing
with the day before.
I never forget that God isgreater than any problem or
problems that you might befacing.
Sometimes I think it'd be goodjust to have one little problem.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh, my word, instead of like 150 little ones and then
one big one.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
But truly it's right there in his word.
God is greater than any problemyou'll ever face.
Ever.
He's your source of strength.
He's a helper who's always withyou, especially in times of
trouble, when you feel likegiving up.
Read his promises, go to hisword and hold onto those
promises.
Memorize them if you have to,and have faith that everything

(04:18):
really is going to be okay.
